As you have seen, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 5DS with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 5DS will offer you greater detail having an extra 33MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The newer 5DS should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
